Chapter 63: Who's the Prey
There were only three days, and Song Yiqiao arrived the night before, and sure enough, after twelve o'clock, she received a prompt tone from the system.
[Do you want to return to the original body?] γ
Select Delay. γ
[Hello, you only have three days to choose to return to the original body, in case of an accident, you will be forcibly repatriated by the system, please choose carefully. γ
For three days, she had no room to waste.
Song Yiqiao didn't feel sleepy at all, his eyes stared at the ceiling in a daze, recalling Hubert's cold gaze that flashed during the day, and he was nervous and eager to try at the same time.
- How should she face this former enemy?
Sleepless nights.
The next day, Song Yiqiao went out early. Dressed in a long camel-colored coat and sunglasses, she dressed up brightly and walked into a cafΓ©.
Drinking coffee in the morning will be more taxing on the stomach, but the people here seem to be familiar with this kind of breakfast, only to see the people with coffee walking away in groups after groups.
Song Yiqiao ordered a few things, took out his wallet and paid.
She didn't take off her sunglasses, she quietly swept around through the black lenses, and sure enough, she saw a familiar face.
β¦β¦ Jack.
No, it's time to call him Taylor.
The other party's face was gloomy, and his handsome face was expressionless, as if he was in a bad mood, although there were many people in the cafΓ©, only the seats around Taylor were almost empty. Probably no one wants to get into trouble early in the morning, or even get beaten up severely.
"You've got what you ordered."
"Thank you."
Song Yiqiao picked up the plate and slowly walked to Taylor's table and sat down, not caring about the other people's eyes at all. She took off her sunglasses and took a sip of her coffee, the bitter taste rolling on the tip of her tongue and swallowing into her throat.
Taylor narrowed his eyes and stared at her unkindly.
She pretended to be puzzled, and cautiously asked, "Sir, what is the problem?" β
"You're British." Taylor spoke firmly.
Song Yi pretended to be surprised and was stunned for a moment: "You are so amazing, I don't think my accent is so obvious anymore." β
"I used to live in the UK for a while."
"I see. I came from London and was planning to play for two days, but it was a coincidence that the first stranger I accosted had also spent some time in the UK. β
"Londonβ"
Taylor stared at her thoughtfully and said, "London is a good place. β
"yes, who's to say it's not," Song Yiqiao smiled, not seeming to perceive the danger, "Except that the law and order have been a bit chaotic recently, of course, the mayor can't be blamed for this, after all, those guys are always restless." β
"Order? I haven't been to London in a while, has anything happened? β
"It's not a big deal, anyway -- it's weird, you know, no matter how rampant the criminals are, there are still people who can catch them, and they can't get far."
Song Yiqiao took a sip of coffee, his expression was casual, and the meaningful words he said made the eyes of the man next to him change.
"yes." He muttered a few words to himself, but no one heard clearly.
"Sir? What are you talking about? β
Song Yiqiao deliberately interrupted him and asked.
Taylor looked up, as if reacquainting with her, and curled the corners of his lips and asked, "What's your name?" β
ββWhat's your name?
In a trance, the noisy atmosphere around turned into a dimly lit room, empty of nothing but cheers and shouts. She fell to the ground on all fours, one hand covering the overly hot light projected from above, and in the blurred vision, the man smiled and held out his hand......
Now, she has changed her shell, and Jack has become Taylor, which is really different.
Song Yiqiao smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "You can call me Josie." β
"Josie."
The name passed between Taylor's lips and teeth, as if to ponder the meaning, and he repeated it again.
"Josie is a good name."
"Thanks for the compliment." Song Yiqiao pretended to be shy and pursed her lips and smiled.
"It's been a great morning," Taylor summed up slowly, looking at his watch, "and hopefully we'll see you again when we get the chance." β
"I thought you'd leave at least one contact information."
Song Yiqiao looked at him with pretended disappointment, as if he had found a rich and powerful person, and such an urgent approach made Taylor stunned.
"If we meet again, I will leave a contact information, thank you for your kindness."
His expression turned cold, perhaps thinking that the woman in front of him was different from his imagination, or maybe it was ...... It gradually became different from the woman he thought of. His smile was unwarm, and he turned and left the cafΓ©.
"It's really not gentlemanly."
Song Yiqiao complained, ate the rest of the food, and then slowly planned to the next target location.
She put on her sunglasses again and walked around the street a few times, and along the way, she received a business card for a talent scout. Song Yiqiao sighed that she was really full of gain, stepping on her high heels and striding forward, seeing that the target was getting closer and closer, her head was thinking about what to do, and suddenly, the system's prompt sounded.
[Hello, the system reminds you that there are snipers on the rooftop of the hotel at eleven o'clock from you who have aimed at your head, and you are always in danger of being shot in the head, please be careful! γ
In fact, without the need for a systematic explanation, Song Yiqiao's keen intuition also made Song Yiqiao's hairs stand on end instantly. She knew she couldn't stop, she couldn't make a probe movement, so she could only pretend that nothing had happened and continue to walk forward.
If you want to dodge this bullet, it is absolutely possible with Song Yiqiao's strength. But as soon as she acts, she also exposes her true identity to the eyes of others.
Song Yiqiao clearly knew that this sniper was definitely arranged by Hubert, and only Hubert knew everything about her.
Soon, she found a blind spot in her vision and stepped aside as she pretended to be looking for something. Before she could put her ideas into action, she was stopped.
"Miss, have we met somewhere?"
The man opposite was rarely dressed in casual clothes, and a pair of beautiful black eyes looked at her without blinking, and if he didn't understand the situation, he thought it was an old-fashioned excuse for accosting.
This guy really started to get suspicious, did he want to force her to show her feet?
I really underestimate her.
Song Yiqiao showed a shy and happy expression, grabbed his arm tightly, and said excitedly, "Do you remember?" I've admired you for a long time since that performance! β
On the contrary, Hubert's face was a little unsightly.
ββββββI suddenly had a convulsion and wanted to write a small dividing lineββββββ
It happened before Song Yiqiao had even moved.
One day, while taking a shower, Sherlock saw a bottle of shower gel on the shelf, with lavender-scented French written on the fuchsia wrapper, which made his eyes start.
Coming out of the bathroom, the ends of her curly hair still dripping into the water, Sherlock sat on the couch in her blue and white striped pajamas absently, her pale cheeks tinged with a hint of blood from the steamer, but her gray eyes were full of fatigue.
He stared at the ceiling and tapped blankly on the handrail, frustrated by the quiet atmosphere of Baker Street lately.
"Crunch-"
With the sound of the door opening, Watson entered the door with some food and household items.
"You know, John, you've been looking more and more like a woman since you've been in love," Sherlock didn't even look at him, his tone mocking, "I don't think the smell of lavender will boost your hormones, it's better to grow a beard than to that." β
ββ¦β¦β
Watson shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, okay, I'll replace it later." β
Sherlock was about to say something when suddenly, his phone started vibrating. He answered the phone, and after a few words, his tired look was swept away. Watson understood that there must be some new case.
Sure enough, Sherlock instantly got up and began to change clothes.
"You're going out?"
"Of course, I need interesting cases to get my nerves on the ground." He changed into a long black woolen trench coat, and the tips of his hair were still a little damp, "It's much more interesting than how to attract a woman, obviously you can't understand it." β
Watson: "......"
β¦β¦
Song Yiqiao was repeatedly invited to participate in some balls, tea parties and other occasions because she helped a lady with status solve the problem of the case. She didn't like this kind of party, but she couldn't excuse it, so she had to go and catch it.
The ball was still going on, and she sat alone in her resting position, drinking champagne while looking at the dancing crowd boredly.
Suddenly, a figure caught her attention.
It was an ordinary-looking man, dressed in a waiter-style suit, with a plate in one hand, weaving back and forth through the crowd. Song Yiqiao's keen intuition told her that the man was Sherlock!
She had a teasing mind and beckoned to the waiter.
After the other party saw her, he paused, and then walked forward with a smile like a waiter: "What are your orders?" β
Song Yiqiao motioned for him to lower his head, leaned into his ear and whispered, "Mr. Holmes, I have seen through your disguise. β
ββ¦β¦β
Sherlock froze for a rare moment, and couldn't understand why he was seen through so quickly, after all, he had always been very confident in his disguise, no, even the attendant's companions didn't notice that something was wrong.
"Do you know why?" Song Yiqiao looked harmless and looked at him with a smile, "The smell of disinfectant on your body is difficult to completely remove, I was just suspicious just now, but now I really smell the smell of disinfectant." Maybe you should buy a few bottles of perfume or something, friendly and built yΓ¬. β
That's right, she's just talking serious nonsense, and whoever is serious loses.
"Your nose is much more flexible than a canine."
Sherlock glanced at her faintly, and turned away with his plate.
"What an impolite waiter." Song Yiqiao grimaced and muttered quietly.
That night, Mr. Detective, who had solved the case, returned home, and it was already late at night. Watson, who had a good schedule, had already fallen asleep, and the dark room was silent, and after he changed his clothes, his eyes casually swept over the table, and saw a bottle of shower gel on it, and the words lavender were hazy in the moonlight.
ββ¦β¦β
The next day.
Watson was going to go downstairs to get the newspaper and throw away the bottle of shower gel by the way. As soon as he picked it up, his perennial keen feeling made him frown strangely: "It seems to ...... A little lighter? β
Sherlock, who had just washed up, glanced at him, and with a calm expression, he turned back and sprayed a few perfumes to hide the smell of the shower gel.
Well, it smells pretty good.
